Specifically engineered to deliver deep, clean mortises in plywood, veneers, and solid woods, this bit is the go-to choice for recessing hinges and hardware or cutting perfectly flat-bottomed dadoes. Its large 1-1\/4 inch diameter provides a wide cutting surface, making it exceptionally efficient for clearing material quickly while maintaining the structural integrity of your workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond traditional joinery, the Freud 16-106 excels as a \u003cstrong\u003eCNC spoilboard surfacing bit\u003c\/strong\u003e. The high-performance down shear design forces wood fibers downward during the cut, effectively eliminating top-surface splintering and leaving a glass-smooth finish. Designed with deep center gullets, this bit facilitates maximum material removal without the risk of chip loading or overheating. Whether you are using a hand-held router with a jig or a high-precision CNC machine, the Perma-SHIELD® coating reduces friction and pitch buildup, ensuring your tool stays cooler and sharper for longer production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"border-bottom: 2px solid #ececec;
